Welcome to College, Marty and Jennifer
Jun. 20th, 2006 10:04 pmStrangetown visit today -- unsure of what family I should play, I decided to go ahead and move Marty McFly Brown and Jennifer Parker Clayton into Academie Le Tour. Things went relatively smoothly, and they grew up well and in half-way decent clothes. Here's Marty:

Not bad, not bad. And Jennifer:

. . . Jennifer, I'm so sorry.
-J: O.o What the hell?-
My only defense is that she was my first attempt at Jennifer. I will be getting the facelift machine shortly and fixing her, don't worry. It'll be a first-semester present.
-J2: Thanks. Jeez, that face is scrunched up.-
I know, I know. . . . I did fix her makeup so her face wasn't so pale.
Here's their little house on campus -- it's not apparent, but everything except the bedroom and bathroom is in a half-wall. They're still doing better than Gilgamesh and Agatha.

First thing I did was have them use the bathroom and fun up. Naturally, this led to a game of red hands.

Then I had Jennifer flirt with Marty, which both fulfilled a want and reestablished their love status. Oddly enough, they didn't get a memory of it -- I guess the dirty joke Marty immediately told afterwards glitched it out. It still counts on the relationship panel.

After that, they both declared majors -- Marty's Drama, Jennifer History. I would have made Marty Time Travel, except that the major's shitted up currently. (
revison_doc's Marty had to drop out early because of this -- it's detailed in the latest update.) Marty ended up having class right when he declared, so I sent him away and had Jennifer do some schoolwork.

Marty got back in time for lunch -- Jennifer burned herself some chili con carne, while Marty successfully managed a hamburger.

Then it was off to the chessboard, as Jennifer wanted to earn a Logic skill point. This had the effect of maxing her Logic. :D How nice.

After that, Jennifer used the bathroom while Marty started his term paper. Marty got in the bathroom after Jennifer left for her night class. In between, Jennifer and Marty called friends and relatives -- Jennifer called Lorraine, while Marty called George and Tina. Yay for both of them having cell phones! They'll keep the landline though, just in case.

Jennifer came home, they shared dinner (porkchops for Marty, filet mignon for Jennifer), and then they shared a bed. :) It's cute to watch Sims cuddle.

-J: Awwww :D-
-M: *snuggle*-
-AJ: Sounds like a good first day at college.-
Yup. And I will do something about your face, I promise.
-J2: Thanks. At least Hill Valley and Twin Oaks Park Jennifer looks relatively normal.
-TD: I thought you were going to edit today!-
THERE IS LIGHTNING OUTSIDE!
-TD: . . . Are you trying to distract us or something?-
-VD: She's worried about her computer getting fried.-
I hate my Vaio and I hate that it gives me heart attacks. *must remember to tell parents she wants to go computer shopping this weekend*
-VD2: Well, honestly, your computer suffering lightning-induced failure is a possibility. Just give us a few more sentences in "The Originals" first.-
-D: Two. Two sentences in "The Originals" and you can log off and suffer a panic attck in private.-
You guys are so helpful. Luckily for you, the storm appears to be moving on.
-DW: *patpat* Your Vaio will be fine. You've been online in lightning storms before.-
I know, I know. It's just that -- well, the Vaio's getting old. And it complains when it plays Sims. I hate that "whirrr" it makes. *grumble* It's giving me unhealthy paranoia about it bursting into flames.
-D: I somehow doubt that would happen.-
-OD: But it probably does indicate a need for a new computer.-
Yeah. One with a gig of ram and a good videocard. And a nice big C drive. Oh, and the ability to put stuff on DVDs so I can stop messing around with CDs for data storage.
-TD: And a death ray.-
How did I know you'd say that. . . .
-D: At least "Past Amnesia" went well. Cutting your hair short has done wonders for your morning writing schedule.-
I know. ^^ And you can't complain either, OckDoc, I started "Hoverboards."
-OD: Fair enough.-
-DW: And you've been making plenty of plot bunnies too -- although I'm a tad worried about this whole "sleep-inventing" thing. . . .-
-TD: *headdesk* I DO NOT DO THAT THAT OFTEN.-
Come on, it's funny! *patpats TeenDoc*
-VD: But DANGEROUS! How do I know I'd be wearing proper safety equipment?-
Because Moonlady always draws you with goggles?
-VD2: Do not speak to us of that wench.-
*giggle* She colored that picture of you dancing, you know.
-OD: *tentacles jawdrop, then buzz hysterically* Et tu, kids?!-
-TD: Uh -- isn't our hair the wrong color?-
She prefers it white. I am slightly tempted to make a copy for myself and use paint to give you blond hair. But don't you just love the undies? :D
-D: . . . . We hate you.-
I know. *ruffles hair lovingly*

Not bad, not bad. And Jennifer:
